Your rank here at G838 (in your case, civilian) is a function of how many posts you have made, not the rank you hold or held while on active service. I can assure you that Jim, (Moose), the guy who owns this site, would never have attained the rank of 5 stars.

Sorry Jim, I just had to take that dig at you, but come on, you're no Douglas Macarthur :!: :P :lol:

that is true lol... the best i could do IRL was Major hehehe for those on active duty, I can set up a special rank to mirror your current rank in the military, just pm me if you'd like to do that.

Moose, I think we should give our active duty members a GOLD STAR next to their avatar. If it can be done. 8)
